Anders Klemensson: that is not what I was promised
“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Egersund have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Theophilus Awua puts it in writing

Egersund promote Patrick King from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Patrick King has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.
